Remove identifier
When someone searches “Captain Goomba”, he is likely trying to find the MQ one rather than the MP8 one. Hence, the MQ page is more popular. So shouldn’t we remove the identifier? Honestly, I think this is too minor for a proposal. -YFJ (talk · edits) 01:35, 27 December 2017 (EST)
- Maybe, but the point still stands that Pirate Goomba is a pirate Goomba. And he is not a pirate Goomba. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:38, 27 December 2017 (EST)
- I...don’t get it. What does the fact that the MP8 one is a pirate have to do with moving pages? -YFJ (talk · edits) 02:50, 27 December 2017 (EST)
- Look, both characters are too minor for one to take precedence over the other, so let's just keep identifiers on both for now, okay? (By the way, yes, Doc's comment is a little off-topic.)

- At the moment, this particular Captain Goomba is the more popular one. But popularity shouldn't play a rule in the identifiers, hence why we don't call the Spiny Shell (blue) page "Blue Shell". Also.
